A ladder, whose length is 10 m and whose mass is 40 kg rests against a frictionless vertical wall. Its upper end is a distance of 7.7 m above the ground. The center of mass of the ladder is 1/3 of the way up the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.53. If a carpenter climbs 85% of the way up the ladder before it starts to slip, find the mass of the carpenter.

A $10 \mathrm{~m}$ long pole, of mass $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ is kept slanting on a smooth wall as shown in figure and is stable. The floor is rough. $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$ (a) Minimum value of $\mu$ of the floor is $\frac{2}{3}$ (b) Minimum value of $\mu$ of the floor is $\frac{1}{3}$ (c) Normal reaction at floor is $100 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) IIie 200
